one: used of a single unit or thing; not two or more; "`ane' is Scottish"

one: the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number; "he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it"; "they had lunch at one"

"?1" (read "Infinity Ichi"; translated as "Infinity 1") is Do As Infinity's twenty-first single, released on June 17, 2009. The band had disbanded in September 2005, but reformed three years later in September 2008.

This is a 1 Micron filter for the Fein vacuum, which allows for clean-up of smaller particulate dust such as drywall and sheet rock. The filter mounts onto the bottom of the vacuum head on the float valve cage with the turn screw and flange. This filter must be used with a paper dust bag. Do not use this filter with the cloth bag that comes with the vacuum. This filter must be used with the TII3002 mounting flange and the TII3001 mounting screw. If you are ordering the filter make sure you have the flange and screw also.

Infrared telescope

Caltech Infrared Telescope

Astronomers and students at the Caltech Institute of Technology built this reflecting telescope in the early 1960s to survey the sky for infrared radiation sources. Its 1.6 meter (62-inch) parabolic mirror was made using a technique called spin casting. Epoxy resin was poured onto a rapidly rotating dish and spun into a perfectly parabolic shape. After the resin hardened, an aluminum coating was applied to provide a reflective surface.

The telescope could survey about 75 percent of the sky in a year, and it had an electromechanical system to filter out background radiation. Data were collected on strip charts. Astronomers inspected the charts to locate infrared sources, then they keyed that data onto paper tape for computer processing. After its installment at Mount Wilson Observatory, the telescope was used to complete the first 2.2-micron all-sky survey.

Grease Trip

After doing a brief interview with a local paper about grease Idecided to filter another 21 gallons and get ready for a trip toAlbuquerque. I am going to heat the grease for one hour beforepassing it through a 10 micron racor filter. I'd really like to havesome 5 or even 1 micron filters to clean the fuel further.

1 micron filter paper

These gridded membrane filters are made of cellulose nitrate, a material which ensures effective retention with high flow rates and optimum colony growth. Sterile Filters are individually packed and sterile to avoid the possibility of contamination. These filters conform to EPA, having filter identification and lot number printed on each individual envelope. The certificate included in every package documents the quality assurance tests as well as the compliance of the 0.45 µm membrane filter with ISO 7704. Non-sterile filters are not individually packed. They are used for particle testing, microscopy and microbiology.

In photography and optics, a neutral density filter or ND filter can be a colorless (clear) or grey filter. An ideal neutral density filter reduces and/or modifies intensity of all wavelengths or colors of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition.

A filter that attenuates light evenly over the visible light spectrum. It reduces the light entering a lens, thus forcing the iris to open to its maximum.

(ND Filters) Neutral Density filters can be attached to the lens of a camera to assist in preventing overexposure of an image. Prosumer camcorders have ND filters built in.

This Hoya Multi-Coated Neutral Density (ND) Filter is an essential accessory for any photographer's camera bag. ND filters reduce the amount of visible light that enters the lens, allowing the user to utilize wider apertures or slower shutter speeds, particularly in bright conditions.ND filters work especially well for portraits by allowing the photographer to reduce the depth of field, producing pleasant background blur while keeping the subject in sharp focus. These filters are also often used to emphasize movement by permitting slow shutter speeds in bright light, giving life to photos that would otherwise look frozen in time.This particular filter (HMC) is multi-coated to minimize reflection on the filter surface, which reduces flare and ghosting, and produces sharp contrast and well-balanced color. An ND8 filter reduces the amount of light by 3 stops.

Closing time at Kensington Metropark.

Kensington Metropark, taken from north side of Martindale beach, near the water slide.

I have not the slightest clue of what the foreground object is. It looks like the top of a graduated concrete pipe with a gate over the top. I wish now I would have left it out and just caught the horizon only. I was actually thinking at the time that I had missed the sunset. I had watched a bikini contest at the Lakepoint Yacht Club in Plymouth, and stayed longer than I intended. But, I didn't expect the skies to be so nice after sunset. I also caught this on Velvia 100, but I have a few more pics left on the roll to shoot.

Shot with a cokin ND8 GND, a 4x ND 52mm ND filter1 exp, processed with UFRaw, and PP'd in GIMP.

Second long daytime exposure picture.

And still in training :) Im getting there with a little help from my overseas fan & great photographer Jetrated.

52mm (24-70 lens) F7.0 Iso 160Exposure 30 sec almost sunset

Because the long exposure the beautifull last sunlight give a magic shine on the buildings. Sun= behind me.

The water didnt cooperate like i wanted but thats my next project :)

52mm nd filter

Neutral Density (ND) filters can reduce the intensity of light without appreciably changing its color. Classic ND filters have different f-stop reduction numbers and transmittance thus generated can be applied for different shooting conditions, such as portraiture, water falls, etc. This innovative item brings great innovation of the filter industry. Through the polarization angle modulation (rotate the filter ring when operating), this lens can change the luminous flux substantially with freedom, reducing the ND number from 2 to 400! It can easily replace dozens of all grade of density ND gray filters The filter is made of two pieces of high polarizer (HPL) which has above 99.7 polarization and a precision rotary of the wide-angle lens ring. Please note the glass of this filter is made in Japan, and it is multi-coated. (a single coated will sell at better price)..

Best Water Filter Pitcher Reviews

(Water Filters) A waterfilter is required to remove parasite contamination in big city municipal water supplies, and growing concerns about well water contamination in rural areas. It does away with the inconvenience and expense of purchasing bottled water.

A water filter removes impurities from water by means of a fine physical barrier, a chemical process or a biological process. Filters cleanse water to various extents for irrigation, drinking water, aquariums, and swimming pools.

This Game They Call Minor League Baseball – "The Pitcher, First Baseman And An Umpire"

Minor League baseball teams do not have a great deal of money, so they cut costs wherever they can. Unfortunately, this sometimes occurs in the costume (uniform) department. For this pitcher, it meant wearing pants that were not quite long enough.

The pitcher's job is to throw the ball (currently in the pitcher's mitt) to his friend the "catcher". Their game of catch is intermittently interupted by club-carrying members of the opposing team, called "batters". Here we see the pitcher in mid-throw.

The umpires have a dual-purpose, acting as security officers and guidance counselors.

The first baseman makes sure members of the opposing team stay away from a white, square marker called a "base" (just out of the field of view on the right-hand side of this photo.) This first baseman appears to be taking his responsibility lightly.

Sarracenia flava (Yellow pitcher plant)

Recently, I made a day trip to the Francis Marion National Forest in Berkeley County, South Carolina. A few friends decided to get together to see what was blooming down there this spring.

This site is one of my favorites for the Yellow pitcher plant, a carnivorous plant of the southeastern Atlantic coastal plain. As you can see, they were doing well this year. Unfortunately, the site was bisected by the tracks of recreational, all-terrain vehicles. I'm not sure I understand how they can just plow through this beautiful area with such abandon.

I am thankful that the forest has been set aside so that these unusual plants will have a place to live.

So I'm experimenting with ebonizing some scraps of oak and made the vinegar+steel wool concoction a month ago. I decided it's time enough and filtered the thing a few times using your ordinary coffee filters, and here's one of them after it's been dried. This reminded me of an artist that I saw years ago back in Nor Cal. She collected used coffee filters and made a raincoat out of them. Rather interesting, I must say.

The negs came out very very thin and weird looking. This image was inverted to look more "normal".

my defining moment

for those who love to explore, this is for you and for those who know me, here's another picture posted with emotion......on Friday best mate and I went to London with our bestest of friends to a restaurant called 'Dans le noir' the trip was arranged and masterminded by just one of our group for a very special anniversary and the rest of us were kept in the dark.......here's the rub, this shot was taken by me at St Pancras station whilst having a glass of wine on route, I was just blown away by the setting sun casting shadows on our travelling companions.........40 minutes later we entered 'dans le noir' for our meal, a restaurant that serves your meal in complete darkness, the waiters, or guides are absolutely blind, for a short period we entered into their world, we laughed, we had fun, the waiters touched our lives and we touched theirs.....but I, had a defining moment, for some, life is complete darkness regardless of wether they can see or not, and for others, it is showered in light, either with sight or from their outlook on life on a daily basis, we are all blessed with imagination and through this gift we are all capable of producing a form of image in our minds eye.......how we view our lives is down to us as individuals.

defining me

My 100th pic and I thought what better than characterizing myself!! So these 3 quadrants - Music&photography, Fictions novels, my work as a s/w developer and the 4th quadrant - Travel (which i could not fit in here) define who i am!!

I thank each and everyone for your comments, appreciation and the tips which has helped me learn and grow !! still learning with every click ....
